Tips
•
Each tire, including the spare*, should be checked monthly when
cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified on
the tire pressure label => page
328.
•
The tire pressure monitoring
system helps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures. But the driver still has the responsibility
for
maintaining
the correct tire pressure .
•
Tire pressure must only be adjusted when the temperature of the
tires is about the same as ambient air temperature.
•
When tires are replaced, the sensors and valves should not be
detached or exchanged. Only the valve core needs to be replaced
and, if necessary, the valve and the wheel electronics replaced.
•
If you should put different wheels and tires on your vehicle (e.g.
winter wheels and tires), you must be certain that the wheels and
tires are compatible with the tire pressure monitoring
system .
Otherwise the system will register a malfunction
and a fault
message will be displayed. For more information,
contact your
authorized Audi dealer.
•
Adjust the tire pressure and store the pressure in the tire pres -
sure monitoring
system to the load you are carrying => page
